iOS 9.1 causing app store issues

hello, i have updated my iPhone 6s to IOS 9.1, which claims to fix in issue with app store downloads and game center log in.

strange enough, i started having these issues after the update, i never faced it with IOS 9.0.2. now i'm unable to use the app store for any download, and i can't access game center either. i'm even facing some wifi connectivity issues. so basically, IOS 9.1 gave me the issues that it was supposed to solve 😕

i have tried hard resets and restores, i have lost some valuable data and apps along the way, nothing worked. i'm using iTunes on my macbook to install apps for the time being. but any idea how to fix this ? never in 6 years i faced issues with iPhones. so i guess now apple have broken my virginity.

ME too I don't want to go to Android

I know! iOS is just miles ahead of Android IMO. The Nexus 6 I got for work is actually a really nice phone! But, well, it's still running Android...


I'm wondering what the common denominator is in all of this. I've been told that Apple Music and iTunes Match just don't play nice together at all. I (iPhone 6S) have both and have Family Sharing setup with one other iPhone 6+. I've noticed here and in other posts that's been the similarity.


I have been hearing some positive "hmmm" 's and "oh, wait- ahhhh" 's while working with Apple, which is encouraging. But still, the problems remain after 3+ weeks. I'm hopeful, but I noticed one person commented saying they've had issues like this for quite a while. I've been replying to the Apple tech's email with any new/different findings along the way. I keep hoping one of these emails or screenshots will be the one thing they need to see. Clearly something with 9.1, but still.. Sometimes there's an easy fix, and sometimes there just isn't. I've invested too much Time & $$$ in Apple's ecosystem to switch to Android, even if I wanted to.

Just got off the phone with a senior engineer over at Apple (they called me).


Gave her all the details, and she says they are aware of this and the other thread.


She is speculating it might have something to do with 2-factor authentication. She was showing that I have it turned on, even though I don't. It actually makes sense if it's looking for something that doesn't exist.


We will be testing further tomorrow on an iPhone I have at work I can test with.


This is promising at least.

OMG, ktorster,


Can it really be that simple? I just went to my Apple ID and turned off two-step verification. Logged out of my son’s ID and back into mine. Didn’t work at first, but after a reset everything began to go well on my iPhone 6S Plus (running the version I got busted for mentioning):


1. App Store working correctly and recognizing my purchases.

2. Apple Music working correctly (including iCloud Music Library / iTunes Match).

3. Pandora works.

4. Frozen Free Fall works.

5. My car, an Acura TLX, now recognizes the iPhone (used to say “Unsupported”).


Have some iPads but won’t mess with them for now until after I see whether this fix holds and starts working for a substantial number of people on this thread.


Hope we are getting close to a green checkmark. I’ve almost got a smile on my face.
